DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and apparatuses that may be usedto create a video, in which the video is generated based on theoccurrence of pertinent events within a period of time. This video maybe a summary video that includes video segments from multiple sources.The video may be augmented to display data describing other pertinentevents that occur during the same period of time. Exemplary scenariosfor event-triggered video creation with data augmentation are disclosedin more detail below, such a remote monitoring of a person in a seniorliving facility.

FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary system associated with event-triggeredvideo creation with data augmentation. System 100 may include multipledevices that may be remote from home 116 (e.g., a house), such as videotimeline (VT) server 101 or mobile device 102 associated with user 103(e.g., monitoring party 103), among other things. System 100 may includemultiple devices that may be local to home 116, such as mobile device112 associated with user 111 (e.g., monitored party 111), smart speaker113, exterior sensor 114, interior sensor 115, router 118, or camera117, among other things. Home 116, which may be considered a domain ormonitored location, may include objects that are primarily notelectronic, such as furniture. Domain may be narrowed to home-kitchen,home-bedroom-camera 117, or the like. The devices of system 100 may becommunicatively connected with each other (e.g., via wireless or wiredconnections using network 104 or peer-to-peer (P2P) communication).

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , in an example, VT server 101,mobile device 102, and the devices of home 116 may be communicativelyconnected with each other in order to obtain or provide informationassociated with monitored party 111, which may be a user of mobiledevice 112. VT server 101 may obtain information from any of the devicesof system 100, which may be associated with home 116 or user of mobiledevice 112, to help manage the disclosed event-triggered video creationwith data augmentation that is associated with home 116. Mobile device112 may be used to monitor user 111 and gather or disseminateinformation such as user profile information, health information, usermovement information, or the like. It is contemplated herein that thefunctions of the devices of system 100 may be combined into one deviceor distributed over multiple devices.

Mobile device 102 or mobile device 112 may include, wireless devices,such as satellite communication systems, portable digital assistants(PDAs), laptop computers, tablet devices, smart phones, smart watches,smart speakers, automobiles (e.g., autonomous vehicles), augmentedreality devices, virtual reality devices, virtual assistants, or thelike. Exterior sensor 114 or interior sensor 115 may include anenvironmental sensor, acoustic sensor, sound sensor, vibration sensor,fluid sensor, optical sensor, position sensor (e.g., accelerometer orgyroscope), speed sensor, chemical sensor, pressure sensor, camera, orthe like.

FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary method associated with event-triggeredvideo creation with data augmentation. At step 121, a monitored location(e.g., domain) may be defined, such as home 116. This may or may notinclude monitored party 111. In one scenario, monitored party 111 may bean elderly person living in home 116. Home 116 may include one or moredevices that may detect events. This may include motion sensors,environmental sensors, microphones, health monitors, virtual assistants,doorbells, appliances, electronic pill boxes, environmental controls,cameras, home alarm systems, or smartphones, among other devices, all ofwhich may be communicatively connected with router 118, each other, ornetwork 104 (e.g., the Internet). If monitored part 111 is defined,monitored party 111 may be identified through facial recognition, voicerecognition (e.g., when speaking to a smart speaker), or use of mobiledevice 112, among other things.

At step 122, video of home 116 may be recorded by camera 117. This videomay be recorded based on a trigger (e.g., motion sensor) or camera 117may continually record. The triggers disclosed herein may be associatedwith the use of one or more of the devices, e.g., motion, use of pillbox, use of doorbell, a microphone that detects particular sounds oraudible words (e.g., “help,” a person's name, or smart speaker wake-upword), a particular decibel level of sound, or other sensors that detectpredetermined conditions. In an example, in addition, triggers may beassociated with a person's gait (e.g., detect change in gait), a personfalling, or threshold inactivity of a detected person, among otherthings. The video may be obtained by VT server 101.

At step 123, a triggering event (device or video) may be detected and atriggering event log may be created. A device triggering event may bebased on information obtained from one or more devices of system 100. Avideo triggering event may be based on information determined afteranalysis of the video. The triggering event may be the same as thetriggers as disclosed in step 122. A triggering event may be a detectedmotion, a doorbell pressed or ringing, thermostat set, an objectrecognized (e.g., rectangular box at door), a package alert received(e.g., via SMS text or smart speaker), a face recognized (e.g., aperson), or a door opened (e.g., detected via an alarm system sensor),among other things. These triggering events may be logged and obtainedby VT server 101.

At step 124, based on the device triggering event or the videotriggering event, descriptive event text may be determined. Descriptiveevent text may be considered a more detailed description of a period oftime. The descriptive event text may be text displayed on or near asubsequently created video. VT server 101 may analyze triggering eventlogs and analyze video during a period to determine the descriptiveevent text. In a first example, the device triggering event logs duringa first period may include an electronic calendar appointment for anin-home doctor's visit, a pressed doorbell, and a door opened andclosed. In addition, the video triggering event logs during the firstperiod may include an indication that a person that looks like a doctoror the audio from the video may indicate the word “doctor” was spoken.In this first example, VT server 101 may determine, based on theanalyzed triggering event logs and the video during the first period,that a doctor visit occurred during the first period. VT server 101 maydescribe the first period of the video as “Doctor Visit” instead of orin addition to indicating a “doorbell rang” and “conversation wasdetected.” It is contemplated that video from different cameras may becombined and synched for the first video segment. Using multipletriggering events in determining a descriptive event may increase theconfidence level of the accuracy of the determined descriptive eventtext. The confidence level may be sent to mobile device 102 and theremay be a threshold confidence that is required to be reached in order tocreate the video segment for the descriptive event text. It is alsocontemplated that a descriptive event image may be selected. Forexample, instead of the text “Doctor Visit” there may be an image (e.g.,icon) of a stethoscope.

At step 125, a summary video of a descriptive event (e.g., “DoctorVisit”—first video segment) for the first period may be created ordemarcated over the first period. This first video segment, as describedin more detail below, may be part of a larger period that may be asummary of an extended time frame (e.g., events during a work day, anentire day, an entire week, etc.).

At step 126, VT server 101 may determine whether to truncate the firstvideo segment. The first video segment may be truncated based on apredetermined set video segment length. For example, the first periodmay be 30 minutes and the predetermined set maximum video segment lengthmay be 5 minutes. In this example, the first video segment should betruncated.

At step 127, based on a determination that the first video segmentshould be truncated, truncating the first video segment. There aremultiple ways that the first video segment may be automaticallytruncated. In an example in which the segment length is reduced from 30minutes to 5 minutes, the first and last 2 minutes and 30 seconds of thefirst video segment may be used to create a second video segment of 5minutes total. In another example, short periods (e.g., 5 seconds or 30seconds each) after or before discrete triggering events of the firstvideo segment may be combined to create the truncated second segment.For example, the triggering events may be a pressed doorbell, dooropening, door closing, entering a first room, entering a second room, orkeywords spoken, among other things. The length of the “short periods”(sub-segments of the first video) may be based on the number oftriggering events of the first video. For example, 10 triggering eventswith a maximum of a 100-second video may be calculated to ten 10-secvideos. In another example, the first video segment may be truncatedbased on inactivity. For example, there may be an observation of littleto no movement and therefore redundant frames may be removed. Reductionin time of inactivity or other periods may be achieved by VT server 101setting playback of a video segment (e.g. a sub-segment of the secondvideo segment) to be at a faster speed. It is contemplated that anyoverlap in sub-segments may be addressed in a manner that there islittle to no repeat of the same video.

At step 128, integrating the truncated second segment into a summaryvideo of an extended time frame (e.g., highlight reel) for the morningor entire day, as described in more detail herein. At step 129, theentire summary video may be provided to monitoring party 103 via mobiledevice 102. Alternatively, the truncated second segment (or the firstsegment) may be provided to monitoring party 103 via mobile device 102,particularly when abnormal behavior or an emergency situation isdetected. It is also contemplated herein that many of the steps of FIG.2 may apply to the summary video.

FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary event-triggered video creation with dataaugmentation. As shown in FIG. 3 , there are several events andassociated videos that may be logged. Block 131 displays an exemplarytimeline of triggering events that may be logged, such as presseddoorbell, door opening, or conversation detected. At or near the sametime of the triggering events, video may be captured from one or morecameras. As shown, the video of block 141-block 147 may be associatedwith the triggering events on the timeline of block 131. Block 151 maybe a descriptive event which includes a summary video of block 141-block145 video that may be truncated based on predetermined information(e.g., descriptive event videos may only be 5 minutes long or less).Block 152 may be another descriptive event video of block 146 and block147 and may be truncated (e.g., 1 minute) as well to remove inactivity.Block 151 and block 152, among other blocks (not shown) may be combinedto create a summary video at block 153 that is sent to mobile device 102(e.g., “morning summary video”), which may be 1 minute long in thisexample.

Below is additional perspective, details, and scenarios associated withevent-triggered video creation with data augmentation. When triggeringevents are detected, an indication of the triggering event may be sent,indicating the type of event, and the time and date of the event, to anevents database (e.g., VT server 101), where they are logged along witha location ID, which is a unique identifier of the monitored location(e.g., home 116). Camera 117 may also have built-in logic that triggersactivation of recording and the creation of video segments when thevideo is analyzed for context by software resident on camera 117. Forinstance, camera 117 may monitor for the detection of changes in aperson's gait, a fall, or inactivity.

Video segments may be recorded and sent to a video database (e.g., VTserver 101). These video segments may include the time and date stampsand a description of the trigger that caused the creation of thesegment. For example, the triggering event may be motion detected,inactivity detected, fall detected, trip detected, audio detected, orothers. In an example, a virtual assistant (e.g., smart speaker 113) maylisten for triggering sound types or spoken words, such as a scream or aspoken “help.”

VT Server 101 may combine (e.g., concatenate) the pertinent videosegments together into a single video stream (e.g., summary video).Within the stream, a box or other display may be used to indicatetriggering events or descriptive events that occurred during the time ofthe video. The timestamps of the triggering events may be used todetermine when to insert the event displays as an overlay on the video.For instance, if a doctor visit event occurred at 9:55 am, then an eventalert may be displayed at the 9:55 am point within a 6:00 am-11:59 amvideo segment.

Some triggering events may occur at a time when no video was produced.In this case, a substitute video segment (e.g., a screen with a pictureof a thermostat or text) may be inserted by VT server 101 in itscreation of the summary video stream. This may be a short segment (e.g.,10 seconds) that permits time for the event text or still image todisplay. For instance, monitored party 111 may have set the thermostatto a low reading that is out of their comfort range. No video wastriggered for the event, but the substitute video segment permits theevent display. The result of the creation of the data augmented videostream (e.g., summary video) may be considered a “highlight” reel of themost pertinent video, augmented with time-synchronized event displays.

VT Server 101 may compress (as with regard to playback time or memory)some videos to permit the video stream to be shorter in duration. Forinstance, video segments that are triggered by inactivity detection maybe compressed in time by removing redundant frames. In another example,inactivity video segments may be achieved by VT Server 101 settingplayback for that segment to be at a faster speed (e.g., 2× or 10×playback speed).

Monitoring party 103 may be alerted of the availability of “highlight”reels via an alert sent to mobile device 102. Alternatively, monitoringparty 103 may send a request to VT server 101 for playback. Some typesof triggering events may be set to be “critical,” in which a segment ofthe summary video is highlighted, a text indication of a possibleemergency is provided, or some other alert to indicate to monitoringparty 103 that the video should be reviewed as soon as possible. Forinstance, “critical” events (e.g., triggering events or descriptiveevents) may include missed pill dosage, garage door left open, pacemakermonitor alert, possible leg injury (e.g., based on same person differentgait), incorrect pills taken (e.g., incorrect pill box opened), orabnormal blood flow (e.g., through smartwatch or transdermal opticalimaging). Critical events may include trip detected, fall detected, andinactivity detected. Critical alerts may be noted on a listing ofavailable highlight videos, which may be displayed on mobile device 102.

While examples of a telecommunications system in which event-triggeredvideo creation with data augmentation can be processed and managed havebeen described in connection with various computing devices/processors,the underlying concepts may be applied to any computing device,processor, or system capable of facilitating a telecommunicationssystem. The various techniques described herein may be implemented inconnection with hardware or software or, where appropriate, with acombination of both. Thus, the methods and devices may take the form ofprogram code (i.e., instructions) embodied in concrete, tangible,storage media having a concrete, tangible, physical structure. Examplesof tangible storage media include floppy diskettes, CD-ROMs, DVDs, harddrives, or any other tangible machine-readable storage medium(computer-readable storage medium). Thus, a computer-readable storagemedium is not a signal. A computer-readable storage medium is not atransient signal. Further, a computer-readable storage medium is not apropagating signal. A computer-readable storage medium as describedherein is an article of manufacture. When the program code is loadedinto and executed by a machine, such as a computer, the machine becomesa device for telecommunications. In the case of program code executionon programmable computers, the computing device will generally include aprocessor, a storage medium readable by the processor (includingvolatile or nonvolatile memory or storage elements), at least one inputdevice, and at least one output device. The program(s) can beimplemented in assembly or machine language, if desired. The languagecan be a compiled or interpreted language, and may be combined withhardware implementations.

The methods and devices associated with a telecommunications system asdescribed herein also may be practiced via communications embodied inthe form of program code that is transmitted over some transmissionmedium, such as over electrical wiring or cabling, through fiber optics,or via any other form of transmission, wherein, when the program code isreceived and loaded into and executed by a machine, such as an EPROM, agate array, a programmable logic device (PLD), a client computer, or thelike, the machine becomes an device for implementing telecommunicationsas described herein. When implemented on a general-purpose processor,the program code combines with the processor to provide a unique devicethat operates to invoke the functionality of a telecommunicationssystem.

While a telecommunications system has been described in connection withthe various examples of the various figures, it is to be understood thatother similar implementations may be used or modifications and additionsmay be made to the described examples of a telecommunications systemwithout deviating therefrom. For example, one skilled in the art willrecognize that a telecommunications system as described in the instantapplication may apply to any environment, whether wired or wireless, andmay be applied to any number of such devices connected via acommunications network and interacting across the network. Therefore, atelecommunications system as described herein should not be limited toany single example, but rather should be construed in breadth and scopein accordance with the appended claims.
